Alix Earle had a subtle reaction being featured in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour documentary with her now-ex Braxton Berrios.
When Earle, 25, was featured with Berrios, 30, in the third episode of Disney+’s Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, one user took to TikTok to address their brief cameo from one of Swift’s tour dates.
“No bc I couldn’t imagine seeing myself in the eras tour docu let alone WITH MY EX BF,” the user wrote over the video, which featured the clip from the documentary and was published on Friday, December 19. The user added in the caption, “Ily @Alix Earle at least you’re in the docu right <3.”
Earle reposted the clip, which has amassed more than 1 million views, via TikTok.
Us Weekly reported earlier this month that Earle and Berrios split after two years together. “[A] majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” an insider told Us at the time. “They mutually agreed on the split.”
A separate insider later told Us that “distance was a huge factor” in their decision to part ways.
“She really wants to spend more time in LA, while Braxton lives in Florida,” a source said, noting that “they realized they were growing apart as a couple.”
Earle broke her silence on the breakup in an emotional video shared on December 13.
TikTok star Alix Earle has been in her feels amid her recent breakup from Braxton Berrios. “Is my frontal lobe developing [because] I’m about to turn 25 and usually I stress [about] having the biggest party?” Earle, 24, wrote over a TikTok video shared Wednesday, December 10. “All I want to do is workout, meditate, […]
“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she said. “We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t got to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
Earle, who recently competed on Dancing With the Stars season 34, explained that she felt “really motivated” to live in Los Angeles during her stint on the show and has considered relocating there permanently. (Earle and partner Val Chmerkovskiy placed second, while wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and pro Witney Carson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.)
“I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place. A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now,” she said. “I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs.”
She continued, “I want him to have someone who can be there for him 24/7 and support him. He wasn’t really expecting that of me … I constantly felt guilty.”
Braxton Berrios defended himself after fans called him out for skipping his ex Alix Earle‘s Dancing With the Stars performances before their split. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, December 11, Berrios, 30, appeared to poke fun at the drama surrounding his breakup by uploading a series of photos of himself and captioning it, “What did […]
Earle noted that her split from Berrios, who currently plays for the Houston Texans, was “difficult” since she considers him to be her “best friend.”
“It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks,” she said. “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him.”
Earle went on to deny that their split was related to Berrios missing the DWTS live shows due to his NFL schedule. Ahead of Earle’s video, Berrios replied to a fan who said via Instagram that he’d missed “every single performance of Alix’s” on DWTS, explaining, “I would’ve been at every one if I could’ve, sadly I can’t travel like that in season.”
Episodes 1-4 of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era are now streaming on Disney+. The two-part finale will premiere Tuesday, December 23.
